12 Miracles entered their End of Season Championships hosted at Shustoke Sailing Club on the 8th and 9th October. This was one of the best turnouts of the year and it was great to see so many friendly faces on the water.
2 races were held on Saturday afternoon in a moderate breeze and lots of sunshine.
Sunday brought more challenging conditions to test the fleet; with strong gusts from over the club house that built through the day. With the shifty winds, the downwind legs were as tactical as the beats. In fact one of the more experienced sailors later said that it was some of the toughest sailing he had done!
Thanks to the race team and galley at Shustoke for putting on a great weekend, and to all of the visitors for making the effort to travel for the final event of the season.
Special mention should go to Olly and Hattie who competed in a borrowed boat having only had a couple of practices beforehand!
